Update: If you have been following us over at G-HAMP Apparel you may have already seen this. I thought the event and magazine were so great that this deserved a re-post on our new blog. It was very cool to see Soledad on CNN during the integration.
The other week I was very fortunate to attend the Color Magazine first annual All Inclusive Awards. Color Magazine is a new publication here in the Boston area. It is a monthly magazine focused on professionals of color and businesses that embrace diversity in the work place.
It was a great event which recognized a number of different people and organizations for there work promoting diversity in the work place. It was nice to see that there was even a diverse group of people that where honored that night.
The guest speaker was Soledad O’Brien who is an anchor and special correspondent for CNN. She had some wonderful stories about the challenges she faced growing up in regards to color in the work place. She was lively and very entertaining. I got to meet her after the event and she had some wonderful advise about how to give an entertaining talk.
It is great to see a magazine focused on this kind of important topic. Diversity in the work place is not about filing quota’s or have an equal amount of black and white employees. It is really about recognizing that we all come form vastly different backgrounds and by working through our differences we can make great things happen.
This is a great magazine that we hope to see more great things from in the future. You should check them out. Better yet download a copy of the magazine and send to someone you know. http://www.colormagazineusa.com/
This is a great start to a new year.
Any way you guys can make the font size a tad bigger? It’s very hard to read white on black at the end of the day.
Wow! Thank you!

Of course, I will add backlink?
